Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt
The seat belts in the rear passenger seating positions are
equipped with either a Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate or both. Both types
of seat belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the seat
belt tight around the child restraint so that it is not
necessary to use a locking clip. The ALR retractor can be
“switched” into a locked mode by pulling all of the web-
bing out of the retractor and then letting the webbing retract
back into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will make a
clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back into the
retractor. For additional information on ALR, refer to the
“Automatic Locking Mode” description under “Occupant
Restraints.” The cinching latch plate is designed to hold the
lap portion of the seat belt tight when webbing is pulled
tight and straight through a child restraint’s belt path.
Please see the table below and the following sections for
more information.
